Carolyn Illman
I understand how important it is to feel comfortable with the handy person in your home: I’ve been there. As a longtime homeowner, landlord, and House Corporation Board President overseeing historic sorority properties at both the University of Washington and Washington State University, I’ve spent nearly 20 years managing repairs, maintenance, vendors, and the unexpected things that always seem to happen with a home.
After years as a Senior Program Manager at Amazon and serving as an Amazon Bar Raiser conducting hundreds of interviews, I saw how much the right vetting process matters. When my handyman of over 10 years retired, I combined my expertise in interviewing, property oversight, and contractor management to carefully build a team of licensed, bonded, and trusted professionals (including talented handy women) who you can feel confident welcoming into your home.

We keep you informed every step of the way. You can always approve change orders, or decide to halt the project (or get alternate bids from other companies) if you aren’t comfortable proceeding.
Our estimates always contain contingency so the opposite often happens - we charge you less than quoted because it took less time! When was the last time a contractor charged you less than expected?
-
My process is the most extensive I’ve heard of, because I believe it’s important to be able to trust the person coming into your home for the first time.
Our process includes multiple rounds of interviews, background checks, reference checks, a 150+ skills self assessment, and a hands on skills assessment before a handy person ever interacts with a customer.
